All the young girls love Ollie!!!

Fusion Festival

Ollie Marland *** is a young singer from Stoke-on-Trent who mixes up Pop and R'N'B, he looks up to artists like Conor Maynard and Justin Bieber and has been causing quite a stir in the music industry himself and this can been see by a lot of the girls in the audiences wearing t-shirts with a picture of him on it today. 

Like Conor Maynard he started his carrer by covering other peoples songs and his set today is full of great cover versions done in his own style.  He comes onstage and starts singing the Ollie Murs song 'Dear Darlin' that actually sounds great and not like a cover at all, he really makes this song his own.  Like he does with the Justin Timberlake song 'Lovestoned' and the Daft Punk cover 'Get Lucky' which he mixes into 'Latch' by Disclosure. It's nice to see him do other people's songs so well but it would be nice to hear him do some of his own because I think they would be really good. 


He has guitarist set up for an acoustic song and he is dressed in what can only been called as a Justin Bieber starter kit. Yes the denim jacket with the sleves up to the elbow and a similar hair cut to the man himself, this is quite suiting because he breaks into the Justin Bieber song 'Never let you Go' which he pulls off in style.

A fan comes out to join him wearing a T-Shirt with a picture of him on it and is told to go back until the second verse. She is very young and obviously a big Ollie fan and when she finally comes out again you can see a massive smile on her face and he gives her a kiss on the cheek as he holds her hand and sings the song to her, which must have been a special moment for her.
